  Trends in Technical & Scientific Research Abstract  Nowadays, students struggle with understanding complex production processes and kinematics of machine tools and robots. While professors mostly have been dealing with these subjects for many years, students have only short time to be introduced to the complex nature of these topics. Mixed Reality allows students to engage hands-on in their subjects to reach new dimensions of understanding. Making challenging topics for students accessible by creating a more visual and tactile experience. The applications for entertainment and gaming are off the charts, but the implications for augmented reality in education and science are also undoubtedly massive. The project focusses on making education as interactive as possible, which helps both, teachers and students receive a unique tool for communicating phenomena and processes that are difficult to describe verbally. As a result, a complex knowledge becomes simple, an involvemen...

    Trends in Technical & Scientific Research Abstract  Renal failure will increase mortality if untreated. When kidneys fail, the buildup of toxins occurs. Which affects the whole body and cause complications. There are numerous causes for renal failure, but we evaluate its main causes, which are Hypertension, Diabetes, Glomerulo Nephritis, Vesicoureteral Reflux and Polycystic Kidney Disease. Kidneys, in general, are very complicated organs. Nevertheless, most kidney diseases share a lot of presenting symptoms, which may lead to some delay in medical diagnosis. This study aims to develop a decision support system to predict the main cause of renal failure in patients using their memory, making quick predictions that may aid in the final diagnosis. A multilayer perceptron (MLP) feed-forward neural network was proposed in this research. The input layer of the proposed system included 32 input variables. An iterative process was used to determine the number of neurons a...

  Trends in Technical & Scientific Research Abstract A system that is used for time-clocking, creating an all-inclusive electronic record of the process involved in how employees logs in and out of work on working days are referred to as a clocking system. The system has an additional feature of calculating an accurate payroll system, which in turn, can lead to a precise amount the company spent on labour. In essence, an employee clocking system is a process of monitoring the attendance, presence and truancy of employees in a work environment. In this project, the University of Energy and Natural Resources was used as a case study. The existing method of recording the presence of staff to work is by a manual process where employees record their attendance on a paper. The challenge of the existing employee attendance system is the difficulty in tracing old records, safekeeping, lack of confidentiality and the chances of other employees logging in for their truant colleagues. T...

  Trends in Technical & Scientific Research Abstract The adsorption of Total Hydrocarbon Content (THC) from petroleum products contaminated soil using wood charcoal blocks and sawdust was investigated in this study. 130kg of the sieved topsoil was contaminated with 5L of spent motor engine oil, 5L of kerosene, 5L of petrol and 5L of diesel, and left to stabilize for two weeks; after which it was thoroughly mixed together. The thoroughly mixed soil was filled into plastic buckets (7kg per bucket) and arranged in five rows. Row A contained the un-amended contaminated soil sample (control), rows B and C contained non-replacement amendments(s) (wood charcoal blocks and sawdust), while rows D and E contained replacement amendment(s) which was/were replaced with fresh ones after every ten experimental days. Laboratory test results conducted on the soil samples at the end of the 40-day experimental period showed a general declined in the THC concentration. It was observed that the T...
